Company profile

Heerema Marine Contractors | Making the Impossible Possible Offshore

How do you lift 17,300 tonnes offshore in a single operation? How do you install the foundations for some of the world's largest offshore wind farms? And how do you safely remove aging offshore infrastructure from our oceans?

At Heerema Marine Contractors, these are the engineering challenges we solve every day. As a Dutch family-owned marine contractor with over 60 years of experience, we combine engineering, project management, offshore operations, and one of the world's most capable heavy-lift fleets to execute complex offshore projects around the globe. Founded in 1962, Heerema employs more than 2,300 colleagues from over 35 nationalities and operates worldwide.

Our fleet includes four of the world's largest crane vessels, such as Sleipnir, which can lift up to 20,000 tonnes and is designed to reduce emissions. From installing offshore wind turbine foundations and large oil & gas structures to decommissioning offshore platforms, we continuously push the boundaries of what is technically possible. Heerema achieved a world-record offshore lift of 17,300 tonnes and has removed more than 700,000 tonnes of offshore infrastructure.

Whether your passion lies in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, offshore engineering, data & software, simulation, or project management, you'll contribute to projects that have a visible impact on the future of energy.

Join us and help make the impossible possible offshore.
